| description | We may notice today the presence of some literary narratives separated from the “high literatures” produced generally by white and median class men. The editorial market is gradually opening space for a kind of literature that uses different forms of expression from those know as canonical and produced by marginal social segments. However, the main definition of literature continues to be within a favored place of expression that, without any neutrality, corresponds to the manifestations of socially privileged groups. This kind of literary production is inside a bigger cultural movement, in which the real seems to be the starting point for the main part of Brazilian fictional prose. In other words, we could say that there is an enormous search for referentiality not only in the literary manifestations but in the contemporary culture as well. This article discusses the reception of literature produced by social groups located outside the society and how literature is inside the “new realism” found in the Brazilian fictional narrative. |

This article discusses the reception of literature produced by social groups located outside the society and how literature is inside the “new realism” found in the Brazilian fictional narrative. Verifica-se, hoje, a presença de narrativas literárias que se afastam dos padrões das “altas literaturas”, produzidas geralmente por homens brancos e de classe média. O mercado editorial abre, aos poucos, espaço para produções literárias que utilizam formas diferentes de expressão daquelas tidas como canônicas e que são produzidas por segmentos sociais marginalizados. No entanto, a definição dominante de literatura continua abarcando um lugar privilegiado de expressão, que, sem neutralidade nenhuma, corresponde aos modos de manifestação de alguns grupos: aqueles socialmente favorecidos. Este tipo de produção literária se insere dentro de um movimento cultural mais amplo, em que o real parece ser ponto de partida de grande parte da prosa de ficção brasileira, ou seja, pode-se dizer que há uma grande procura de referencialidade não só nas manifestações literárias quanto na cultura geral contemporânea. O presente artigo discute a recepção da literatura produzida por grupos sociais que se encontram de algum modo à margem da sociedade e como essa literatura se insere no “novo realismo” presente na prosa de ficção contemporânea brasileira. 2007-05-16 2022-03-18T16:20:11Z 2022-03-18T16:20:11Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/244 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61517 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/244/243 Copyright (c) 2007 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 44 No. 1 (2004) Revista de Letras; v. 44 n. 1 (2004) 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
